True legend, Maurice Murphy of the London Symphony Orchestra, is retiring this month. His very first job was playing trumpet on the Star Wars soundtrack! Cool that he retired in the 30th Anniv year of SW release.

Listen to the podcast about Mr. Murphy and his contributions...you WILL recognize his work immediately and the podcats speaks volumes more than I could here.
